Our most recent Lecture

The Church's Mission in the Age of AI | Advent Lecture 2025 | Matthew Sanders

December 11, 2025

Matthew Harvey Sanders, CEO of Longbeard and pioneer in “Catholic AI”, was a superb speaker: clear, compelling, and refreshingly hopeful. Feedback afterwards said it all: “one of the finest and most hopeful speakers I have ever heard”, and “a true beacon of hope”.

Matthew leads Longbeard, a Catholic technology company working at the frontier of AI, and his talk showed exactly why that matters. He explained why we’re living through a decisive moment and why the Church can’t afford to sit this one out.
